What works for you? What advice would you give if you were breaking someone in? Foot work? Wrist work? starting points ect.?
LOL. yeah know what people? there is a lot to be said about this! sure we will elaborate later ...maybe haha. ..but we don't ever know for sure.First you need to rev the piss out of it. Tip yer hat. Then close yer eyes and lay into her. When the cuts meet. Stop. Oh and try not to look like an arborist when doing it.
I always take a look out the sight to whatever I picked to mash and see if I'm getting close after walkin round to check muh self then feel for the bump of the cuts coming together and the face falls outI always take a quick glance at my bar (visualize where its pointing) before I pull it out of the kerf, then I pretend I can see through the tree to the edge of the cut on the other side and line it up and let er rip.
Oh and the whole if you've done it enough you just know the feel thing too... but
Honestly I am doing more skidding now than cutting, so when I get on the saw after being off it a while I try to do what I first mentioned to get me back into rhythm.
Yep, don't wanna splain to the bull buck why they gots tuh go to diamond match company. Had to put a chunk in a face just yesterday cuz I doinked up dumping a wood treeAnybody who matches their cuts up perfectly every time please raise their hand.
Hello? Anybody?
Yeah, me either.
The trick is to be able to recognize that you've gone a little astray before you let it turn into a disaster. Trimming up a face or having to throw a chunk into the face is time consuming but it's better than having a money maker busted all to hell because it got away from you.
I shouldn't without a disclaimer ticket somewhere to go along lol, that and I don't deserve to like most guys here as I haven't yet got the back uh my ears dry cuz most have earned their advice to giveI don't often give advice, someone might actually try it and find the deep end has no bottom.

weren't you the guy who gave the 50% undercut advice in another thread lol
Probably, along those lines anyway. The term I use is 'steep and deep'.
LOL ...that's right...I disagree with Gologit. as a matter of fact my cuts always marry up. Sometimes it's just 95% deep. j/kI don't often give advice, someone might actually try it and find the deep end has no bottom.
I'd make sure they could join up the cuts on horizontal fallen logs docking them off first before progressing to something standing up, then give them some chalk lines on some high stumps to practice on, some saws are just mongrels to get used to, if I go from an old 076 to a ms660 it looks like I'm a beginner again, cuts out of level & cuts not joining up, there is something about the dynamics with those old saws which makes it easier.What works for you?
